[Kathleen Bustraan (cbcdc]

Friends,

Hope everyone's new year is off to a good start.

A reminder that our first meeting of 2021 will be on Tuesday, January 12, 2021 at 7:00 pm.  We are scheduled to be joined by Pam Wood of The Baltimore Sun who will discuss a preview of the upcoming legislative session.   We will meet via Zoom.  Log in information will be circulated a day ahead of the meeting.

At the meeting we will also discuss the formation of the nominating committee.  According to our by-laws, the membership is called upon to vote two members onto the nominating committee.  If you are interested in serving on the nominating committee please be sure to attend the January meeting  so you can be considered for this role.

An announcement from the Baltimore County Democratic State Central Committee (BCDSCC):

The BCDSCC, known as the Baltimore County Democratic Party, was elected on June 26, 2018 during the Democratic Primary Election. The Democratic Party requires that local central committees maintain gender balance. Two gender balance openings for At Large female members presently exist. According to the BCDSCC bylaws, the Nominations Sub-Committee is charged with making recommendations for At Large positions to the full Committee regarding new members.

Each applicant must be a citizen of the United States, must have been a registered Maryland Democratic voter at the time of the last Primary Election and have permanent residence in Baltimore County. Interested female applicants must submit the following materials to be considered:

1. A completed BCDSCC applications

2. A professional resume

3. A separate letter of interest indicating their professional, civic, and political experience, and why they are interested in serving on the BCDSCC

Up to two written references letters may also be submitted by the deadline, however, reference letters are optional. Materials should be e-mailed to Info [at] BaltimoreCountyDems.com with the subject line "BCDSCC At Large Female Gender Balance Application" (preferred method), or mailed via USPS to BCDSCC, Attention: Nominations Subcommittee, P.O. Box 19092, Towson, MD 21286 and received by 11:59 pm on Friday, January 15, 2021.

For more information and to download the application visit http://www.baltimorecountydems.com/current-central-committee-vacancies.html. Applications missing a resume or letter of interest will be considered incomplete.

All applicants will be interviewed publicly, and interviews will be conducted by the BCDSCC Nominations Sub-Committee members on either January 23, 2021, January 24, 2021, or January 30, 2021. Once all application materials have been received, applicants will be notified of the exact day and time of their interview, which will be conducted virtually on camera via ZOOM and streamed live from BCDSCC's Facebook page.
